Medical Xpress / Supercentenarians have an abundance of cancer-killing immune cells
The human immune system has specialized cells called CD4 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4 CTLs), which have been shown to kill tumor cells in some cancers. When a person gets sick, these cells multiply in a process called clonal ...
Phys.org / NASA's LRO images Falcon 9 crater on moon, learns new details
Between Aug. 11–12, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured a series of images of a new crater on the moon. The crater formed Aug. 5, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage impacted the surface following its Jan. 2025 ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticle combines two strategies to speed up the healing of chronic wounds
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, have developed a nanoparticle that can address the various factors hindering the healing of chronic wounds, which include ulcers associated with ...
Tech Xplore / In US, rare earths extracted from coal mine wastewater
In the Appalachian region stretching through the U.S. state of West Virginia, reddish water flowing out of retired coal mines is acidic, full of heavy metals and toxic to the environment.
Medical Xpress / Autistic adults show more dopamine receptors, brain-imaging study finds
How does autism manifest in the brain? Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital investigated this question in a new study involving 60 adults.
Medical Xpress / A unified framework to explain one of cancer's major drivers
In a rare pair of papers published back-to-back in the journal Genes & Development, research teams led by senior author Anindya Bagchi, Ph.D., associate professor in the Cancer Genome and Epigenetics Program at Sanford Burnham ...
Phys.org / Soil methane sink may be larger than thought, three-model analysis finds
Methane-munching microbes in soil might be more important than previously thought, a new study finds. Soil is an important carbon sink, and scientists are still learning much about the diversity of its microbial communities. ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria may transform spinach, beets and plant iron into protective compounds
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that gut bacteria can convert dietary nitrate and iron into protective molecules that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The study, published ...
Tech Xplore / At 0.8 nanometers, carbon film may replace two layers in future chip wiring
As transistors inside microchips continue to shrink, the metal wiring that connects them is becoming a growing obstacle to faster, more energy-efficient chips. Narrower wires have greater electrical resistance, while smaller ...
Medical Xpress / 'Molecular glue' redirects a cancer-driving protein to activate cell death
A two-headed molecule designed by Stanford Medicine researchers hijacks one of the most common protein drivers of B-cell lymphoma, flipping it from its role as a promoter of cell growth into an arbiter of cell death. In mice, ...
Medical Xpress / Gray and white matter jointly shape cognitive aging, new evidence shows
Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have found that two distinct types of brain tissue work together to support cognition in ...
Medical Xpress / First-in-class therapy targets 'undruggable' protein in hard-to-treat blood cancers
A first-in-class therapy to target MYC, one of the most sought-after and difficult targets in cancer biology, showed promise in hard-to-treat blood cancers, according to a new preclinical study from The University of Texas ...
